(e:hodown) bought me this amazing book called "Voyeur Nation" by Clay Calvert for my thesis. At the time she bought it, we didn't know that I would be using it for that. About a year ago, I got to pick a parting gift for a attending a clothing shopping run at Factory Outlet Mall and chose the book and about 5 pieces of bubble gum. I bet it's on my journal.

Fatefully, we had just found it on sale for $5.00 and I thought it would make an interesting read. Little did I know, it is probably the most useful books I would find. Thanks (e:hodown) I owe you.

After a busy day of production while avoiding reading, (e:lilho) took me out to a calamri dinner. It was delicious. I hope someday, I can also have enough money to buy my own calamari dinner.



I was a little conflicted about the whole thing as (e:terry) had cooked a very nice spegehtti sauce dinner with some canned tomatos from the thousand jars at nonna's house. There are litterally so many that we are still eating the ones from 2002. I wonder if the aged ones are worth more like wine.



Afterward, we stopped at (e:jason) 's. It was nice to meet him and his friend. This is a pic from his proch across from spot, the future home of the banner. He said he is coming to (e:ajay) 's shindig. I hope everyone else is too.

I received a phone message from Yvonne at like 5 in the morning her time last night. I wonder what is going on with her. Unfortunately, like everyone else, she had no idea that my voice mail does not play out loud. People try so hard to get me to pick up the phone, but I can't hear them on voicemail, until after they have finsihed saving the message.

I will call her tonight, I miss speaking German so much. It is weird that she spoke English on the voice mail because I think I have only heard her speak English two or three times in all the years we knew each other. With Vonage, calling Germany is only 3 cents per minute. It's even cheaper than calling my mom in Kenmore on my cell phone.

It seems that since Apple (Quote, Chart) decided to move its processors away from IBM's PowerPC and onto Intel (Quote, Chart), other companies might be looking for a way to get in themselves.

Michael Dell, Dell founder and chairman, told Fortune magazine Thursday he wouldn't mind adding Apple's OS to its software product list, which includes a couple flavors of Linux to go with its Windows-heavy lineup.

"If Apple decides to open the Mac OS to others, we would be happy to offer it to our customers," he said in an e-mail to the publication.Quoted from: Dell Bullish on Mac OS?

Why don't the other companies just come out with their own flavor of linux. I mean it all starts out half developed as open-source projects, just like with OS X. Similar to the lindows operating system that Walmart sells. More and more computer hardware companies should just begin to develop their own instead of creating another "windows."

After a stressful day or arguing about our depressong financial outlook, we went to wegmans. Apparently, arguing and stressing out makes your blood pressure go up. Mine jumped like 20 pts to 104, lol. The result of today is that we are officially poorer than the poor with no debt but we are not moving to Nonnas house.



Here are some old pics of me and (e:mike)
